Timothy Mason: Resources
for a history of anthropology
"The following page grows out of my interest in the Australian
anthropologists, Baldwin Spencer and Frank Gillen. There is little material
freely available on early anthropologists, and although there may be other sites
providing easy access, I have not found them." The site contains links
to many texts on the early history of anthropology and sociology.

Ed Stephan: A Sociology Timeline from 1600
The timeline spans the period from 1600 to 1995. Many of the
names in the timeline are linked to pages with information on authors and events
and further links to a very wide range of online texts, including classical
texts e.g. by Hobbes, Vico, Kant, Malthus etc., and some modern texts as well.
